In other marquee home news: the landmark estate of the late oil baron Jake Hamon and his wife, Nancy, is for sale. The Hamon house is long gone, but the house that now sits on the prime piece of Bluffview is a big improvement.

Nancy Hamon stayed in her Greek revival mansion on the high point of a 3.5-acre lot for 48 years, entertaining friends like Larry Hagman. But the house had a terminal case of low ceilings and creaking beams.

“I’m getting out before it falls down,” she said, when she moved in 1997 to the penthouse of the Mansion on Turtle Creek.

The big-columned mansion that replaced that Hamon home still has that impressive vista view above the blueblood neighbors and it just hit the market for for $6,995,000.
